Lynparza

Indications and Usage for Lynparza

Treatment of gBRCA-mutated advanced ovarian cancer

Lynparza is indicated as monotherapy in patients with deleterious or suspected deleterious germline BRCA mutated (as detected by an FDA-approved test) advanced ovarian cancer who have been treated with three or more prior lines of chemotherapy.

The indication is approved under accelerated approval based on objective response rate and duration of response [see Clinical Studies (14)]. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in confirmatory trials.

Lynparza Dosage and Administration

Patient Selection

Select patients for the treatment of advanced ovarian cancer with Lynparza based on the presence of deleterious or suspected deleterious germline BRCA-mutations [see http://www.fda.gov/companiondiagnostics.

Recommended Dosing

The recommended dose of Lynparza is 400 mg (eight 50 mg capsules) taken twice daily, for a total daily dose of 800 mg. Continue treatment until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

If a patient misses a dose of Lynparza, instruct patients to take their next dose at its scheduled time.

​2.5 Dose Modifications for Patients with Renal Impairment

​Patients with mild renal impairment (CLcr 51-80 mL/min as estimated by Cockcroft-Gault) do not require an adjustment in Lynparza dosing. In patients with moderate renal impairment (CLcr 31-50 mL/min) the recommended dose reduction is to 300 mg (six 50 mg capsules) taken twice daily, for a total daily dose of 600 mg. The pharmacokinetics of olaparib have not been evaluated in patients with severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease (CLcr ≤30 mL/min) [see Use in Specific Populations (8.8) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

Dosage Forms and Strengths

Lynparza (olaparib) is supplied as a white, opaque, hard capsule (50 mg), marked in black ink with “OLAPARIB 50 mg” on the cap and the AstraZeneca logo on the body.

Contraindications

None

Warnings and Precautions

Myelodysplastic Syndrome/Acute Myeloid Leukemia

​Myelodysplastic Syndrome/Acute Myeloid Leukemia (MDS/AML) have been confirmed in 6 out of 298 (2%) patients enrolled in a single arm trial of Lynparza monotherapy, in patients with deleterious or suspected deleterious germline BRCA-mutated (gBRCAm) advanced cancers. In a randomized placebo controlled trial, MDS/AML occurred in 3 out of 136 (2%) patients with advanced ovarian cancer treated with Lynparza. Overall, MDS/AML were reported in <1% patients treated with Lynparza in clinical studies. The majority of MDS/AML reports were fatal, and the duration of therapy with Lynparza in patients who developed secondary MDS/cancer-therapy related AML varied from <6 months to >2 years. All of these patients had previous chemotherapy with platinum agents and/or other DNA damaging agents including radiotherapy. Some of these patients also had a history of previous cancer or of bone marrow dysplasia.

​Monitor complete blood count testing at baseline and monthly thereafter. Do not start Lynparza until patients have recovered from hematological toxicity caused by previous chemotherapy (≤CTCAE Grade 1). For prolonged hematological toxicities, interrupt Lynparza and monitor blood counts weekly until recovery. If the levels have not recovered to CTCAE Grade 1 or less after 4 weeks, refer the patient to a hematologist for further investigations, including bone marrow analysis and blood sample for cytogenetics. If MDS/AML is confirmed, discontinue Lynparza.

Pneumonitis

Pneumonitis, including fatal cases, occurred in <1% of patients treated with Lynparza. If patients present with new or worsening respiratory symptoms such as dyspnea, fever, cough, wheezing, or a radiological abnormality occurs, interrupt treatment with Lynparza and initiate prompt investigation. If pneumonitis is confirmed, discontinue Lynparza.

Embryo-Fetal Toxicity

Lynparza can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman based on its mechanism of action and findings in animals. Olaparib was teratogenic and caused embryo-fetal toxicity in rats at exposures below those in patients receiving the recommended human dose of 400 mg twice daily. If the patient becomes pregnant while taking this drug, apprise the patient of the potential hazard to a fetus [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].

Advise females of reproductive potential to avoid becoming pregnant while taking Lynparza. If contraceptive methods are being considered, use effective contraception during treatment and for at least one month after receiving the last dose of Lynparza [see Use in Specific Populations (8.6)].

Adverse Reactions

The following adverse reactions are discussed elsewhere in the labeling:

Clinical Trial Experience

Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.

Lynparza 400 mg twice daily as monotherapy, has been studied in 300 patients with gBRCA-mutated advanced ovarian cancer, and 223 of these patients had received 3 or more prior lines of chemotherapy.

In the 223 patients with gBRCA-mutated ovarian cancer who received 3 or more prior lines of chemotherapy (including 137 patients in Study 1 with measureable disease) [see Clinical Studies (14)] adverse reactions led to dose interruption in 40% of patients, dose reduction in 4%, and discontinuation in 7%. There were 8 (4%) patients with adverse reactions leading to death, two were attributed to acute leukemia, and one each was attributed to COPD, cerebrovascular accident, intestinal perforation, pulmonary embolism, sepsis, and suture rupture. Table 1 presents the frequency of adverse reactions reported in ≥20% of 223 patients (in 6 studies) with gBRCA-mutated advanced ovarian cancer who had received 3 or more prior lines of chemotherapy who were treated with Lynparza 400 mg twice daily. The median exposure to Lynparza in these patients was 158 days.

Table 2 presents the frequency of abnormal laboratory findings in the 223 patients with gBRCA-mutated advanced ovarian cancer who had received three or more prior lines of chemotherapy receiving Lynparza 400 mg twice daily.

The following adverse reactions and laboratory abnormalities have been identified in ≥10 to <20% of the 223 patients receiving Lynparza and not included in the table: cough, constipation, dysgeusia, peripheral edema, back pain, dizziness, headache, urinary tract infection, dyspnea, and rash. The following adverse reactions and laboratory abnormalities have been identified in ≥1 to <10% of the 223 patients receiving Lynparza and not included in the table: leukopenia, stomatitis, peripheral neuropathy, pyrexia, hypomagnesemia, hyperglycemia, anxiety, depression, insomnia, dysuria, urinary incontinence, vulvovaginal disorder, dry skin/ eczema, pruritus, hypertension, venous thrombosis (including pulmonary embolism), and hot flush.

Table 3 presents adverse reactions reported in ≥20% of patients from a randomized trial of Lynparza 400 mg twice daily as maintenance monotherapy compared to placebo in patients with platinum sensitive, relapsed, high-grade serous ovarian cancer following treatment with 2 or more platinum-containing regimens. Table 4 presents the laboratory abnormalities in patients from this randomized trial. Of the 96 patients with gBRCA-mutation, 53 received Lynparza, and 43 received placebo. The median duration on treatment with Lynparza was 11.1 months for patients with a gBRCA mutation compared to 4.4 months for patients with gBRCA mutation on placebo.

Adverse reactions led to dose interruptions in 26% of those receiving Lynparza and 7% of those receiving placebo; dose reductions in 15% of Lynparza and 5% of placebo patients; and discontinuation in 9% of Lynparza and 0% in placebo patients. One (2%) patient on Lynparza died as a result of an adverse reaction.

Drug Interactions

Anticancer Agents

Clinical studies of Lynparza in combination with other myelosuppressive anticancer agents, including DNA damaging agents, indicate a potentiation and prolongation of myelosuppressive toxicity.

Drugs that may Increase Olaparib Plasma Concentrations

In patients (N=57), co-administration of itraconazole, a strong CYP3A inhibitor, increased AUC of olaparib by 2.7-fold. A moderate CYP3A inhibitor, fluconazole, is predicted to increase the AUC of olaparib by 2.2-fold.

Drugs that may Decrease Olaparib Plasma Concentrations

In patients (N=22), co-administration of rifampicin, a strong CYP3A inducer, decreased AUC of olaparib by 87%. A moderate CYP3A inducer, efavirenz, is predicted to decrease the AUC of olaparib by 50-60%.

USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

Pregnancy

Lynparza can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman based on its mechanism of action and findings in animals. Olaparib was teratogenic and caused embryo-fetal toxicity in rats at exposures below those in patients receiving the recommended human dose of 400 mg twice daily. If this drug is used during pregnancy, or if a patient becomes pregnant while taking this drug, apprise the patient of the potential hazard to the fetus and the potential risk for loss of the pregnancy.

Animal Data

In a fertility and early embryonic development study in female rats, olaparib was administered orally for 14 days before mating through to day 6 of pregnancy, which resulted in increased post-implantation loss at a dose level of 15 mg/kg/day (with maternal systemic exposures approximately 11% of the human exposure (AUC0-24h) at the recommended dose).

In an embryo-fetal development study, pregnant rats received oral doses of 0.05 and 0.5 mg/kg/day olaparib during the period of organogenesis. A dose of 0.5 mg/kg/day (with maternal systemic exposures approximately 0.3% of human exposure (AUC0-24h) at the recommended dose) caused embryo-fetal toxicities including increased post-implantation loss and major malformations of the eyes (anophthalmia, microphthalmia), vertebrae/ribs (extra rib or ossification center; fused or absent neural arches, ribs, and sternebrae), skull (fused exoccipital) and diaphragm (hernia). Additional abnormalities or variants included incomplete or absent ossification (vertebrae/sternebrae, ribs, limbs) and other findings in the vertebrae/sternebrae, pelvic girdle, lung, thymus, liver, ureter and umbilical artery. Some findings noted above in the eyes, ribs and ureter were observed at a dose of 0.05 mg/kg/day olaparib at lower incidence.

Nursing Mothers

It is not known whether olaparib is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk and because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants from olaparib, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother.

Pediatric Use

The safety and efficacy of Lynparza has not been established in pediatric patients.

Geriatric Use

In clinical studies of Lynparza enrolling 735 patients with advanced solid tumors [the majority (69%) of whom had ovarian cancer] who received Lynparza 400 mg twice daily as monotherapy, 148 (20%) of patients were aged ≥65 years. The safety profile was similar irrespective of age with the exception of AEs of CTCAE ≥3 which were reported more frequently in patients aged ≥65 years (53.4%) than those <65 years (43.4%). No individual adverse event or System Organ Class accounted for this observed difference.

Females of Reproductive Potential

Lynparza can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)]. Advise female patients of reproductive potential to avoid pregnancy while taking Lynparza. If contraceptive methods are being considered, use highly effective contraception during treatment with Lynparza and for at least one month following the last dose of Lynparza. Instruct patients to contact their healthcare provider if they become pregnant, or if pregnancy is suspected, while taking Lynparza.

Hepatic Impairment

The effect of hepatic impairment on exposure to Lynparza has not been studied. Patients with bilirubin >1.5 X ULN and AST/ALT ≥2.5 X ULN (≥5 X ULN in the presence of liver metastases) were excluded from Lynparza clinical trials. There are no data in patients with baseline hepatic impairment (serum bilirubin >1.5 X ULN) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

Overdosage

There is no specific treatment in the event of Lynparza overdose, and symptoms of overdose are not established. In the event of an overdose, physicians should follow general supportive measures and should treat symptomatically.

Lynparza Description

Olaparib is an inhibitor of the mammalian polyadenosine 5’-diphosphoribose polymerase (PARP) enzyme.

The chemical name is 4-[(3-{[4-(cyclopropylcarbonyl)piperazin-1-yl]carbonyl}-4-fluorophenyl)methyl]phthalazin-1(2H)-one and it has the following chemical structure:

The empirical molecular formula for Lynparza is C24H23FN4O3 and the relative molecular mass is 434.46.

Olaparib is a crystalline solid, is non-chiral and shows pH-independent low solubility of approximately 0.1 mg/mL across the physiological pH range.

Lynparza is available in 50 mg capsules for oral administration. Each capsule contains olaparib as the active ingredient and the following inactive ingredients:

Lynparza - Clinical Pharmacology

Mechanism of Action

Lynparza is an inhibitor of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) enzymes, including PARP1, PARP2, and PARP3. PARP enzymes are involved in normal cellular homeostasis, such as DNA transcription, cell cycle regulation, and DNA repair. Olaparib has been shown to inhibit growth of select tumor cell lines in vitro and decrease tumor growth in mouse xenograft models of human cancer both as monotherapy or following platinum-based chemotherapy. Increased cytotoxicity and anti-tumor activity following treatment with olaparib were noted in cell lines and mouse tumor models with deficiencies in BRCA. In vitro studies have shown that olaparib-induced cytotoxicity may involve inhibition of PARP enzymatic activity and increased formation of PARP-DNA complex, resulting in disruption of cellular homeostasis and cell death.

Pharmacokinetics

Absorption

Following oral administration of olaparib via the capsule formulation, absorption is rapid with peak plasma concentrations typically achieved between 1 to 3 hours after dosing. On multiple dosing there is no marked accumulation (accumulation ratio of 1.4 – 1.5 for twice daily dosing), with steady state exposures achieved within 3 to 4 days.

Limited data suggest that the systemic exposure (AUC) of olaparib increases less than proportionally with dose over the dose range of 100 to 400 mg, but the PK data were variable across trials.

Co-administration with a high fat meal slowed the rate (Tmax delayed by 2 hours) of absorption, but did not significantly alter the extent of olaparib absorption (mean AUC increased by approximately 20%).

Distribution

Olaparib had a mean (± standard deviation) apparent volume of distribution at steady state of 167 ± 196 L after a single 400 mg dose of olaparib. The in vitro protein binding of olaparib at plasma concentrations achieved following dosing at 400 mg twice daily is approximately 82%.

Metabolism

In vitro, CYP3A4 was shown to be the enzyme primarily responsible for the metabolism of olaparib.

Following oral dosing of 14C-olaparib to female patients, unchanged olaparib accounted for the majority of the circulating radioactivity in plasma (70%). It was extensively metabolized with unchanged drug accounting for 15% and 6% of radioactivity in urine and feces, respectively. The majority of the metabolism is attributable to oxidation reactions with a number of the components produced undergoing subsequent glucuronide or sulfate conjugation.

Following a single dose of 14C-olaparib, 86% of the dosed radioactivity was recovered within a 7-day collection period, 44% via the urine and 42% via the feces. The majority of the material was excreted as metabolites.

Drug Interactions

Based on the data from a drug-interaction trial (N=57), the AUC and Cmax of olaparib increased by 2.7- and 1.4-fold, respectively, when olaparib was administered in combination with itraconazole, a strong CYP3A inhibitor. Simulations suggested that a moderate CYP3A inhibitor (fluconazole) may increase the AUC and Cmax of olaparib by 2.2- and 1.2-fold, respectively.

Based on the data from a drug-interaction trial (N=22), the AUC and Cmax of olaparib decreased by 87% and 71%, respectively, when olaparib was administered in combination with rifampicin, a strong CYP3A inducer. Simulations suggested that a moderate CYP3A inducer (efavirenz) may decrease the AUC and Cmax of olaparib by 50 - 60% and 20 - 30%, respectively.

In vitro studies have shown that olaparib is both an inhibitor and inducer of CYP3A and an inducer of CYP2B6. Simulations suggested that olaparib may not affect the exposure of a CYP3A substrate in humans. It cannot be excluded that olaparib may induce CYP2C9 and CYP2C19. In vitro studies also indicated that olaparib is a substrate of P-gp and an inhibitor of P-gp (MDR1), BCRP, OATP1B1, OCT1, OCT2, OAT3, MATE1 and MATE2K. The clinical relevance of these findings is unknown. The potential for olaparib to induce P-gp has not been evaluated. The potential for olaparib to induce P-gp has not been evaluated.

Pharmacokinetics in Specific Populations

Renal Impairment

In a dedicated renal impairment trial, the mean AUC and Cmax of olaparib both increased by 1.2-fold, when olaparib was dosed in patients with mild renal impairment (CLcr = 51-80 mL/min defined by the Cockcroft-Gault equation; N=13) and by 1.4 and 1.3-fold, respectively, when olaparib was dosed in patients with moderate renal impairment (CLcr = 31-50 mL/min; N=13), compared to those with normal renal function (CLcr ≥81 mL/min; N=12). There was no evidence of a relationship between the extent of plasma protein binding of olaparib and creatinine clearance. There are no data in patients with severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease (CLcr ≤ 30 mL/min).

Nonclinical Toxicology

Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

Carcinogenicity studies have not been conducted with olaparib.

Olaparib was clastogenic in an in vitro chromosomal aberration assay in mammalian CHO cells and in an in vivo rat bone marrow micronucleus assay. This clastogenicity is consistent with genomic instability resulting from the primary pharmacology of olaparib and indicates potential for genotoxicity in humans. Olaparib was not mutagenic in a bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) test.

In a fertility study, female rats received oral olaparib at doses of 0.05, 0.5, and 15 mg/kg/day for at least 14 days before mating through the first week of pregnancy. There were no adverse effects on mating and fertility rates at doses up to 15 mg/kg/day (maternal systemic exposures approximately 11% of the human exposure (AUC0-24h) at the recommended dose).

In a male fertility study, olaparib had no effect on mating and fertility in rats at oral doses up to 40 mg/kg/day following at least 70 days of olaparib treatment (with systemic exposures of approximately 7% of the human exposure (AUC0-24h) at the recommended dose).

Clinical Studies

The efficacy of Lynparza was investigated in a single-arm study in patients with deleterious or suspected deleterious germline BRCA-mutated (gBRCAm) advanced cancers (Study 1). A total of 137 patients with measurable, gBRCAm-associated ovarian cancer treated with three or more prior lines of chemotherapy were enrolled. All patients received Lynparza at a dose of 400 mg twice daily as monotherapy until disease progression or intolerable toxicity. Objective response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DOR) were assessed by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1.

The median age of the patients was 58 years, the majority were Caucasian (94%) and 93% had an ECOG PS of 0 or 1. Deleterious or suspected deleterious, germline BRCA mutation status was verified retrospectively in 97% (59/61) of the patients for whom blood samples were available by the companion diagnostic BRACAnalysis CDx™, which is FDA approved for selection of patients for Lynparza treatment.

Efficacy results from Study 1 are summarized in Table 5.
